Bought a tube bender from Home Depot

The instructions say that you need a tubing bender, but they don't say what type. After emailing a few other RV builders, I decided to go ahead and get both types, the tool bender tool shown here and the spring type benders. That way I'm covered no matter what. Update: 6/01/2011 I used this thing once and didn't like the way the tubing looked, so I never used it again. I did almost all my tube bending with my bare hands. On occasion, I used the springs in the next picture, when I was working with really tight turns.
